When I joined the acting course I did not think there would be so much poetry involved. Which is why, even as I write this weeks into the course I am surprised we've had to deal with two poems a week, even creating one of our own based on the theme of immigration. I called mine a better tomorrow
"open arm
Warm hug
Feeling helpless
Like a bug
Dark past
Hopeful mind
You are welcomed
By the kind
You may be scared
Or full of sorrow
But fear not
A better tomorrow"
This has been the part of the course I have enjoyed the most, as I think it's been the one that has involved the most creativity and one that actually lead to more work as we got into groups and mixed each other poems together to make one that will be the basis of our performance for walking with amal. Everyone wrote amazing poems and were really supportive of each other as they read theirs out to the whole group, a task I was excited about as I was proud of what I had written. And it was a good change of pace from the usual poem task.
